MUSKEGON, MI – Jakari Dequin Pipkins, a 19-year-old Muskegon man, was arraigned Tuesday on five felony counts for an incident that led to a Muskegon police officer shooting at Pipkins.

Pipkins allegedly shot at a Mercy Health Partners Hackley Campus security guard around 1 a.m. Monday and then ran toward the police officer while armed with a handgun. The officer fired at Pipkins, who was not hit.

A foot chase later led to Pipkins’ arrest.

The officer was placed on administrative leave, authorities said. That’s standard protocol in cases when officers fire their weapons.

Pipkins was arraigned before Muskegon County District Judge Michael J. Nolan on charge of third-degree fleeing and eluding and firearm possession by a felon, both five-year felonies; assault with a dangerous weapon, a four-year felony; and two felony firearm counts, which automatically add two years to the underlying sentence if convicted.

Nolan set bond at $100,000 and scheduled a preliminary examination for Nov. 5.

According to police, authorities received a call at 12:53 a.m. Monday from a security guard at Mercy Health Partners Hackley Campus about a man driving a red van who allegedly shot at him near the hospital.

Police later spotted a red van at Wood Street and Amity Avenue believed to be the same vehicle. An officer followed it and tried to make a traffic stop at Wood and Oak Avenue.

Police said the driver of the van drove east on Oak, then jumped out of the van while it was still moving in the 700 block of Oak. The van kept moving and stopped after crashing into a tree, police said.

As the officer was getting out of his police cruiser, the armed suspect turned and ran toward the officer, police said. The officer fired, missing the suspect, and fled the scene without injury, police said.

A foot chase then began and the police officers saw the suspect enter a home in the 500 block of Oak, where the suspect apparently knew the occupants. Officers were allowed to enter the home, where they found the suspect in a bedroom with a loaded handgun.
